X-ray of Lime

Curatorial text

The surface is articulated through a regular grid of repeated modules, like pieces of a single wall plane assembled with patience. Each cell contains a semicircular form that rises from the plane like a flap, creating a sequence of gentle concavities. Repetition upholds order, yet small variations of edge and painterly load avoid any mechanism and keep the rhythm alive.

Light works from within the structure: it settles on the chalky whites and slips towards ash greys, while an earthy band appears as an intermediate deposit, a sediment that stains the contact between layers. Between the modules, dark vertical strokes and graphite-like drag marks act as joints and shadows, tightening the space and giving depth to the frontal reading.

Detail reveals a complex skin, with splatters and glazes that granulate the paint like mineral dust. Pores and small bubbles appear, densifying the matter and making the light tones vibrate. In profile, the relief—contained yet constant—confirms the system of folds: the raised edges cast fine shadows, and that minimal separation activates the work like a Mediterranean wall, worked by time and light.
